Pros
working in leisure is an enjoyable environment. within our centre I was blessed to work with some of the kindest people I have ever met and made friends for life.
Cons
The phrase 'boys club' would be an understatement. working specifically in the North West Leicestershire contract it was blatantly obvious that progressive roles would be gifted to those deemed worthy not on merit but by how well they fit in. the culture of promiscuity is in-bedded in the centres and a lads code of don't tell is followed. I unfortunately left the organisation on the back of a sexual harrassment incident, this was subsequently brushed under the carpet by multiple levels of management, it was abundantly clear that they either didn't believe me, or simply didn't care. I was told on multiple occasions by senior management that the manager who allegedly up skirted me would have no issues to work with me, no consideration was given as to how I would feel. if your a 'lads lad' this is the place for you!
